How To Prevent And Treat Denture Pain

Trusted Health Products

Properly cared for dentures should not cause pain or irritation when you wear them. The two common aspects that frequently cause denture pain can easily be prevented.

Proper Hygiene Of Dentures And Mouth

Cleaning your dentures every night - as well as the roof of your mouth and any areas covered by your dentures - helps prevent denture pain from infections such as yeast, thrush or other irritations caused by bacteria. Dentures should be soaked overnight in water, a denture cleaner, or solution to loosen debris so that it can be brushed away in the morning.

A clean denture as well as mouth with a healthy oral flora will prevent infections such as those associated with yeast. Be sure to use a 100% pure botanical toothpaste and mouthwash that will kill harmful bacteria and promote a healthy, balanced environment inside of your mouth.

Proper Wear Of Your Dentures

Irregular wear of your dentures such as not taking them out at night or not wearing them throughout the day can either lead to your mouth becoming irritated or not accustomed to the appliances. This can cause gum tissue to be irritated or even trigger bone loss. Proper denture wear that supports a healthy mouth will include wearing the appliance all day and removing it each night for soaking and oral hygiene.

Professional Treatment

Typical denture pain relief involves professional treatments, home remedies, or a combination of the two, depending on what is causing your denture pain. Traditional treatment for denture pain usually includes one of the following options:

New Dentures

If the dentures are causing pain in your mouth due to them being worn out or not fitting properly, you may need to have new dentures made. This can cost several hundred dollars.

Denture Re-lining

Ill-fitting dentures that do not fit properly may need to be professionally re-lined in order to conform to your oral anatomy and prevent wear. Price is determined on lab fees.

Denture Adjustment

Denture adjustments are performed in the dental office and are typically free of charge. The denture is ground down in areas that may be rubbing too hard against your gum tissues.

Appropriate Wear Times

Dentures should never be worn overnight as this can cause oral tissues to become infected or cause excess bone wear due to stress from the denture. Not wearing the denture regularly throughout the day may also cause irritation due to your mouth not becoming accustomed to the denture properly.

Cleaning Your Denture Thoroughly

If you have buildup of bacteria on your denture it means that bacteria are being placed directly in your mouth against your delicate tissues. Soak your denture each night in a denture cleaner or a water-based anti-microbial rinse, then brush your denture thoroughly in the morning to remove all loosened bacteria deposits. Use a separate brush for your dentures than you do for any remaining teeth.

Cleaning Your Mouth Thoroughly

Poor oral hygiene and heavy amounts of plaque or food debris in your mouth can cause fungal infections to develop under your denture. This causes the tissues to become red and raw. Not only should you clean your teeth and gums, but clean the roof of your mouth thoroughly and use an anti-bacteria mouth rinse such as one containing an essential oil to restore the mouths proper natural flora. The best way to achieve this is to use a 100% pure botanical toothpaste/mouthwash combination along with a simple daily oral hygiene program.

More Facts About Denture Pain

Most denture pain can be alleviated by keeping your dentures clean, thoroughly cleaning your mouth every day including your gum tissue as well as making sure your dentures fit properly. Extended wear is unhealthy for your gum tissue. Taking your dentures out at night to clean them and soak overnight allows your mouth a chance to rest.

Most dentures hurt when you wear them for an extended amount of time without taking them out at night. Excess stress on the bone can cause the dentures to not fit properly. Failing to clean them every day and not keeping your tissues healthy can easily cause irritation and infection.

Plaque and tartar on your dentures can increase your risk for developing oral infections. This makes your oral tissues and skin red and irritated. You should take your dentures out every night to clean them and allow them to soak in a solution that loosens the debris, brushing them thoroughly before placing them back in your mouth in the morning.

If your gums and roof of your mouth are red and raw under your dentures, this is due to lack of oxygen and increased bacteria in the area due to excessive denture wear or inadequate cleaning. Remember to keep your mouth and gums clean and free of harmful bacteria with a 100% pure botanical toothpaste and mouthwash.
